Our Texas-Made Furniture is Tariff-Free

Have furniture tariffs put a wrench in your home renovation plans? We understand that in times like these, customers are worried about the possibility of tariffs on furniture raising prices even higher. However, we are here to calm your worries.

Just like our sister company Texas Mattress Makers, Living Designs Furniture will not be raising our prices on our Texas-made furniture. While other furniture brands may be forced to raise their prices due to inflation or tariffs, we are one of the few local furniture stores in Houston that are dedicated to maintaining our already fair prices.

Shop stress-free with a Houston furniture store that prioritizes Texas labor and local sourcing.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

Living Designs Furniture will not be raising our prices on our Texas-made furniture.
Living Designs Furniture sources all materials from the United States, and every piece of furniture is manufactured in our factory in Houston, Texas.
Furniture made in the U.S. that sources materials from abroad can be affected by tariffs. Because we do not buy any materials from other countries, we are exempt from total and global tariffs.

How tariffs on furniture impact the industry

Will furniture be impacted by tariffs? In some cases, yes. Most furniture retailers import their finished pieces or raw materials from overseas manufacturers, particularly in Asia. If a retailer imports its furniture, the products will be subject to a tariff that will increase their costs. Then, the retailer has to make a difficult choice: absorb the additional costs and reduce their profit margins, or pass these expenses directly to consumers through higher prices.

You can probably guess which option the companies will choose — that’s right, they will make you, the customer, pay more. Price increases like these, especially in difficult economic times, can make furniture shopping all the more stressful. However, it doesn’t have to be this way.

How to avoid tariffs with Living Designs Furniture

We've built our entire business model around a simple but powerful principle: keeping everything local. This isn't just about supporting American workers and businesses (though we're proud to do that) — it's about providing our customers with consistent, reliable pricing that won't fluctuate based on tariffs.

Here is how you are able to avoid tariffs on furniture when shopping with Living Designs Furniture:

Our materials are sourced from the United States

Is furniture exempt from tariffs? Ours is! Because we do not buy any materials from other countries, we are exempt from total and global tariffs. Every single material that goes into our furniture — from the wood bases to the foam and fabric — is sourced from suppliers right here in the United States.

Our foam products are sourced from Texas and Arkansas
Our lumber is from Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama
Our fabrics are from California, the Carolinas, and Mississippi
Our wood is from Louisiana and Texas

We rely on our local suppliers, our neighboring states, and other manufacturers nationwide to help us create the best sectionals, chairs, and custom sofas Houston has to offer for fair prices. And because we’ve worked with the same suppliers for a number of years, we know that their quality is top-notch. Houstonians deserve only the best products, and we provide that daily.

Our furniture is manufactured in Houston

Living Designs Furniture local factory craftsmen

When you're searching for authentic furniture made in Texas, by Texans, for Texans, your search ends here. Living Designs Furniture has built its reputation on true factory direct furniture — every single piece you see in our Houston furniture store is handcrafted right here in our downtown Houston factory.

As both manufacturer and retailer, we've eliminated the costly middlemen and third-party markups that inflate furniture prices elsewhere. These substantial savings flow directly to you, our valued customers. While other retailers wait weeks or months for foreign shipments and navigate unpredictable supply chain delays, we maintain complete control over our production timeline. When you order a custom couch or sectional from our factory, you'll have it beautifying your home in a fraction of the time.

We take immense pride in being a family-owned Houston business that employs local furniture artisans and master craftsmen. Our commitment runs deep — to our community, to exceptional quality, and to providing the fairest prices on furniture that's built to last generations.

Benefits of buying furniture directly from the manufacturer

We all know that shopping local helps our local economy and community, but in times like these, buying your furniture from a local manufacturer like us can actually save you time and money.

Significant cost savings: When buying from a furniture manufacturer, you’re paying closer to the true cost of production rather than the brand name markup and other hidden fees you’ll find at other retail stores.
Quality guarantee: As the manufacturer, we oversee every step of the furniture-making process, from selecting raw materials to the final finishing touches. This hands-on approach ensures consistent quality standards that simply can't be guaranteed when purchasing through third-party retailers who have no control over the manufacturing process.
Unlimited customization options: We are known for being Houston’s premium custom furniture maker. Whether you want to create a sectional from scratch or modify a pre-existing chair in our showroom, we can do whatever you want to make your furniture perfect for your home — and for less money than our competitors.
Complete transparency: When you’re able to speak to furniture experts and the craftsmen responsible for your furniture, you know exactly what you’re investing in and that the quality will last you for years to come.
Supporting a local business: Your purchase directly supports local jobs, from our skilled craftsmen to our design team to our extensive network of American suppliers. Every dollar spent stays in the community, strengthening Houston's economy and supporting families right here in Texas.

Every bed frame, sectional, ottoman, or other piece of living room furniture we make is built to last. Our Texas-made furniture is more durable, higher quality, more stylish, and priced better than anything you will find in the Houston area.
